Act II Expeditions

In Act II the enemies are much stronger but this also means that you will earn more experience from defeating them.
If Act II players join an Act I players expo then the power of the opponents will be increased in proportion to the sum of the levels of the players from Act II. The weaker the monster, the greater the modifier.

The chance of finding an item or stones is the same as in Act I. However, in Act II there is also a chance of finding legendary items and the chance of it happening is equal to half of the monster number rounded down. ( what does number stand for, order on the map? HP? number of mobs? )

On Necropolis, level 60+ Act II characters have the reduced experience restriction of being too low in level removed.

Attacks in Act II

You'll get 2 x more experience for defeating a player who is in Act II that a player who is from Act I, no matter what Act you are in.

Tasks in Act II

Tasks not completed in Act II roll over into Act II as well.



Legendary Items

In Act II you may find a new type of item, the Legendary Items. It's a kind of a prefix that sits infront of the item name e.g. Legendary Perfect Demonic Knife of Agility.

Legendary items may only be found and equipped by players in Act II.

On Underworld type realms legendary items cannot be placed into the the Clan Armoury.

Stats

Items with the sub-prefix legendary will have the following modifiers:

  • On Necropolis
    • Effects increased by 35% and requirements increased by 20%.
  • On Underworld
    • Requirements lowered by 20%,
    • 1h Guns - +30% Damage, +27% chance to hit
    • 2h Guns - +20% Damage, +1 attack per round,
    • 1h Melee - +10% chance for critical hit, +5% chance to dodge
    • 2h Melee - +25% chance for critical hit, +25% chance to hit
    • Light & Heavy Ranged - +15% Damage, +30% chance to hit, -45% chance for critical strike

The legendary percentage modifiers stack with other modifiers.

Drop and trade

Legendary items may be found on any type of quest in Act II. The chance of finding one depends of the difficulty of the quest. Legendary items can be traded however Legendary items can only be merged only with other legendary items.

Legendary items won't be duplicated in an auction.
